Preface

All praise is due to Allah. We praise Him, seek His assistance and forgiveness and we seek refuge with Him from the evil of our souls and our misdeeds.

I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone. He has no partner. I also testify that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is His slave and Messenger.

The great scholar Ibn Qudamah needs no introduction (May Allah have mercy on him).

The advice and deep contemplations of Ibn Qudamah can be found in this book. By contemplating on them you will improve your character and morals.

I referred to his book Al-Wasiyya and its many translations in English when preparing this book. This book is not an exact translation of his advice but I made the necessary changes to make it suitable for today’s reader.

Our Deeds are determined by our intentions - whether they are good intentions or bad intentions. Therefore we should always check our intentions before we do or say anything. We must make sure that the action is for the sake of Allah so that it is accepted by Allah and that we will be rewarded for it, In-sha Allah. We ask Allah by His beautiful names and attributes that He unites our hearts upon the truth, and that He makes us sincere advisers to one another based on the Quran and Sunnah as understood by the Companions.

I ask Allah to make this effort sincere, seeking His Pleasure, and I ask Him to grant us refuge in Him from the evils within us, and that in our actions. I ask him to grant us success in doing what pleases Him; He is close and responsive (to the prayers of His faithful servants).
